My perspective is from the inside out. Yours is on the outside screaming at what's inside. Semantics be damned. Wiki is open-source. Anyone who can get online get add to Wiki. That is a terrible refernce. Consider your sources more wisely in the future.

As I said, my perspective is from the inside, and I have demonstrated I understand both sides of this discussion. Yours is only your own and you are wuite limited in your range of discussion because of this limitation.

Similarly, people plundering NPCs with ballistas and losing nothing were working completely within the confines of the game code. They were NOT bypassing/corrupting the code, or as you decided to twist my analogy, breaking the speed limit.
No you don't. You are not going to change your argument. You it perfectly clear you should be able to do whatever you want. I shoed you how controls evolve. You completely ignore yet another point. This is another example of how using only your own perspective has limited you understanding. I illustrated the flaw to both your premise and conclusion.

Oh look, you just described nerfing again....

So they don't pay you and you don't speak on your behalf. Do you talk to them regularly? I'm just curious how you are so informed as to their perspective.[/QUOTE}

I have a choice and so do you. We can limited our perspective and, thereby, our understanding or we can expand our perspective and try to understand the other side.

Pretty much anything you send against them in a 100k combination is going to get wiped out with practically irrelevant losses.

How did your testing work out in the above scenario?
This one is easy. Evony is based around alliances. As many alliances have already figured out, they must work together to accomplish goals. And, they are doing it. This is not a do-it-solo-one-weekend-and-its-conquered type of game... but you probably thought it was until the last patch. How do the kids say it... "amirite?"

It helps to read what is posted.
